1800 Fishing out at the Preserve, Plein Air

I did this today out at the George LeStrange Preserve in Ft. Pierce. Lovely day out, wasn't too hot till about noon, it was 91 when I got home. Its painted with palette knife, a big one! I had left my normal size one at home, wasn't sure if it would come out or not. Then when I was about finished I found a medium sized knife I had packed away in my bag so finished with that one.

Everything was done on site except for the fisherman, I put him in when I got home.
